A man leaves a residue in a woman
What is this residue?
Does, in its microscopic materialization,
The left over semen
Make a permanent mark?
Do I, as a man,
Wish to leave traces within you,
A form of forever that nestles in the womb?
Or is there another way
In which man may give
Substance to her, who has stirred his loins
Can I be stronger than I’ve ever been?
Will I be able to give love without demands?
I wonder why I need to disown a feeling
To beautiful to own?
Must it go,
Depart,
Tiny traces,
No more than residue
In an unseen, personal, world?
